Welcoming the State government’s plan to implement the Cauvery (Mettur Dam)-Sarabanga-Thirumanimuthar-Ayyar canal link scheme, farmers representatives in Tiruchi district have called for its expeditious completion as it would be of immense benefit in the dry belts of Uppilliyapuram, Thuraiyur and Thathaiyengarpet unions. According to a policy note of the Water Resources Department, tabled by Minister Duraimurugan earlier this week, it has been proposed to divert about five thousand million cubic (TMC) feet of Cauvery surplus water from Mettur Dam by excavating a new canal to Salem, Namakkal, Perambalur and Tiruchi districts.More Related News
